I had this issue after upgrading to win10pro from win8.1pro on a Lenovo yoga 2 13" the issue seems to be wide spread and has been mentioned on a few threads (see related threads). I have now successfully managed to get my wifi card working and hopefully one of the solutions below will help:

solution 1(easiest): switch off your device

This is the easiest and simplest option and does not need rolling back to win8.1 after painstaking hours I realised this was all I needed to do. NOTE* this is not a restart! what you need to do is properly shut down the machine either through start>power>shutdown or power button on your device. leave the device off for at least 1 minute. At restart one of three outcomes will be the case... 1. wifi works and you're immediately able to use the network (congradulations) 2. wifi works however you cannot join your home network and 3. wifi is still not present.

if outcome 2. is the case, your wifi card (in my case the realtek RTL8723BE) should now appear in the device manager and all you need to do is update your driver to the latest windows10 drivers from Lenovo (if not the latest 8.1 driver) and restart. (hopefully you now have wifi).

solution 2: roll back to windows 8.1 and remove interfering software

the most apparent culprit is Cisco VPN software/drivers these seem not to be compatible with windows 10 and after upgrade are affecting network connectivity. solutions on how to remove these are in the following thread:

on my system I had cisco peap, fast and eap modules that I uninstalled just incase

reinstall win10 and after the install make sure that at some point BEFORE accessing the internet you switch off the device for at least 1 min. a simple restart during which power is still going the cpu will not surfice.

good luck

to open device manager right click the start button and select device manager. your wifi hardware should be under network adaptors

I had the same problem. I couldnt see the WiFi option after I upgraded to Win 10. But luckily I only had to switch it off complete and put it on back after a minute or so. It connected automatically.

Thanks,

It looks like the shutdown is only helpful for yoga 2 13 not yoga 2 pro.

I have tried both Intel's drivers and Lenovo with  no luck.

Hi,

this definitely does not work. Has anyone in Microsoft tested a Lenovo yoga 2 pro with an Intel wireless (Windows 10 64x)?

Everything else works fine, and even though the wifi adapter shows no problem in device manager, no adapters show up in Network Connections. The error from a diagnostic is; wireless hardware is not bound to transport driver.

Looks like we will have to roll back until a solution is available.

 Hi, sorry im speak spanish,and i use a translator

My Lenovo S10-3 could not install Atheros WLAN driver, the only way was

-  Reinstall Lenovo Energy Management,

- download the driver from Atheros and before installing go:

         Settings -> Update and Security -> Windows Defender -> Exclusions and add the .exe driver,

and then install the driver wifi

i hope could be useful
